GOVERNMENT BY IN JUNCTION. Condemned la a Oplatoa by the Colorado Coart Appeals. DENVER. Oct. 12.

Judge Wilson of th Court of. Appeals, Judges Thompson and Blssell concurring, handed down an opinion yesterday in which he makes a vigorous attack on government by Injunction." In the case of H. Schradskle versus the Appel Clothing Company, wherein the plaintiff was given a perpetual injunction by the lower court, restraining the defendant from advertising a certain stock cf goods as bankrupt stock, the Court of Appeals reverses the decree and remands the case to the trial court, with Instructions to dissolve and dismiss the bill. We cannot approve a practice," said Judge Wilson. nor subscribe to a doctrine which permits the exercise by the courts of extraordinary power of Injunctive relief for every wrong or Infringement upon the rights of another.

Such a course of procedure. If carried to its ultimate natural conclusion, would tend to entirely subvert the fundamental principles upon which our system of law Is founded." UNDER STATE CONTROL.

The question was presented to determine the powers of the Stat Board of Charities with relation to this and other Institutions, wholly or partly under private control, which receive payments from the State as well as counties, cities, towns, and villages, and charitably disposed Individuals for educating, clothing, boarding, and housing in-mates. The contention of the managers of this particular institution was that because of Its educational feature and the vial torts 1 powers of the jperintendent of Publla Instruction, It should not be classed as a charitable Institution, and that It could exact payments from th County of New York as well as other counties without regard to th provisions of Section 14 of Article VIII.

ALBANY, Oct. lZ-The Court of Appeals, by a close vote of 4 to 3. has decided that the Chicago Junction RaUroad and Union Stock Yard Company la not liable to the corporation tax in this State, which the Controller sought to Impose, of t'JOaO.

The Court of Appeals reverses this view, and holds that th real business is conducted outside of the State and Is not taxable.

The decision is likely to effect many other corporations and reduce the State's Income. 4 GLUCOSE FACTORY III CHICAGO. CHICAGO. Oct. 12.
